Last week, Israeli troops shot dead one unarmed man, and wounded another who were trying to cross into Israel from Egypt.

  1. “Gunmen opened fire on Sunday at a bus of Israeli soldiers…” “IDF forces were called to the area…”
    Why bring more soldiers if there was a buss full of ’em right there? why didnt they just return fire etc… key elements of story seem to be missing.

  2. To “Normal” #1:

    Each soldier on the bus might have been carrying his/her personal weapon.

    The maximal amount of ammunition each man (or woman) might have had would be one clip or magazine containing 25 shells. That is not enough for a sustained gun battle.

    But the five-star General Normal, sitting at his computer, doubtless in a comfortable air-conditioned room somewhere in north America knows far, far better how to run a gun battle than the actual troops caught on the ground in hot, dusty and hostile Israel.

  3. Dear General Ben Azai, while I don’t think I understand tactical warfare I do believe a bus full of soldiers could maybe retyrn some fire and then maybe the headlines would read something like “Two gunmen were killed after they opened fire on a busload of soldiers whearas the subtitle would say that these vermin were pierced with 7000 bullets after trying to….” You get the drift!
